Question

1. consider the squares shown. square g has an area of 100 square centimeters. square h has an area of 64 square centimeters.

determine the percent decrease in area from square g to square h.

Explanation:

Step1: Find the decrease in area

The area of Square G is 100 cm² and the area of Square H is 64 cm². The decrease in area is \( 100 - 64 = 36 \) cm².

Step2: Calculate the percent decrease

The formula for percent decrease is \( \frac{\text{Decrease}}{\text{Original Amount}} \times 100\% \). Here, the original amount is the area of Square G (100 cm²). So, percent decrease \( = \frac{36}{100} \times 100\% = 36\% \).

Answer:

36%
